Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson is full of praise for Everton boss Marco Silva.

The pair worked together at Hull City.

"He was big for me — improved all of us," said Robertson. "He brought me on defensively even in a short space of time and I think very kindly of him.

"It was the first time I'd worked under a foreign manager and I think it stood me in good stead when I went to Liverpool under this manager [Jurgen Klopp]. I was used to Steve Bruce, Mike Phelan and even up the road, Scottish managers.

"It was good to get a feel for the foreign way and I think it probably helped me settle in a wee bit here."
